Ahh it sounds so good, perfect where it's not to loud but when you do gun it the deep tone of it is so pleasant. Only thing is you can't hear it inside the cabin which sucks but then again it's not supposed to be a full on sports car.

What yall think?

It is nice, I have heard one being test driven by the dealerships and was surprised it wasn't a 350. It sounds similar to a 335i exhaust

It sounds nice but I was rather deceived by the interior when I sat in one. It feels incredibly cramped imo. However the exterior styling was a homerun.

If the interior was a little better, I may have picked up a c63 instead of my M3.

Don't like the C300 at all. The C350 Sport is a nice looking car.

Too bad the interior is such a pile of suck though.

The interior to me was nice only due to the fact that my sister has a 2006 C280 and the car is a piece of crap, u would think with 26k on the price it would come with power seats.... NOPE. It's cramped and the seats are stiff and makes your butt hurt. My sister is in love with the 4G TL so I with some convincing I could be getting her to join the Acura Family =).

Why would you do that to a family member?

lmao I know but I like Acura and you have to admit the interior on the 4G is sex, the exterior is a turn off but they have grill mods and everything. The thing is she LIKES the exterior so yeah. Mercedes just sucks IMO.

Which in my opinion isn't that small. the B5 and B6 A4 were the most cramped cars I've ever been in and even then it wasn't too bad.

Often it is the sound of grinding gears or deflating sales. VTEC sounds good though. I hate when the exhaust gets riced up tho. It's not supposed to be a hayabusa.

My exhaust is pretty sexy so I guess yeah Honda/Acura V6 has sound.

Now, stock sound is a little different, you need a few mods to get the sexy part.

I like how my 4 banger sounds haha, but my stock exhaust is killing it. Intake is also stock maybe with a CAI it'll be even better...yum.

IDK I like mine, that's mostly because VTEC makes it so much nicer.

I'll have to try and get a video of my car's exhaust, the 3.0L I6 engine has a nice rumble to it, sounds much better than a stock 3.2TL does.

I'd generally agree, but I really like the MR2 Turbo, S2000, and any Subaru with an unequal length header.

IMO with 4-cyl cars, usually the louder the exhaust is (unless its really deep), the less nice it sounds. You need to really have an engine that screams and/or revs really high, and have a free-flowing but not subdued sounding exhaust. When I bought my Integra, it came with a coffee can that sounded like shit..... a week later I got a stock muffler, then after that an AEM CAI and heel-toeing made it sound pretty nice.

But what I like about V8s is they sound good whether or not its the engine making all the noise or the exhaust the louder the better

03-04 SVT Cobra exhaust note is what I call orgasmic. You really have to hear it in person, the sound is deep and really hits you. Sound clips online don't do them justice. Plus the whine =

Yeah, kind of rare to find a nice sounding one.

I want to hear this in real life.

The exterior of the new C series is definitely a home run. The interior...blech.

That exhaust note is pretty good....but when you've heard a C63...... now THAT is pure sex.

Yeah Subaru sounds good and surprisingly a lot of people hate the whine of the supercharger but I actually enjoy it. IMO the best sound to me would be the spooling the Turbo on the Supra, it gives me chills of joy.

^Bob I'd bet your CTS-V sounds pretty damn sexy, you should post a video of the exhaust.
